Really good barbecue doesn’t need to be fancied up – all you need is a paper plate, some napkins, and a place to sit. But if you want to elevate the whole experience, take your meal to the rails. In Sauk County, there’s a special barbecue train excursion that’s a marriage of awesome barbecue and railroad history. It’s one of the best Wisconsin railroad experiences. Feeling hungry? Here’s what you need to know about the barbecue train at Mid-Continent Railroad.
The barbecue train is an experience offered by the Mid-Continent Railway Museum, a railroad museum in North Freedom Wisconsin. The museum is located in Sauk County, and it has static railroad displays, as well as a working excursion train.
Passengers ride on one of the Mid Continent vintage railcars. Some ride on the Soo Line #2017, a diner lounge car that was built in 1914. Others ride the C&NW #440, a business car that was built in 1929.
Barbecue is best savored slowly, as is this special train trip. Take in the Circus City BBQ and the beautiful Sauk County scenery – this is a ride you won’t forget!
